Referral Agreement - Establish Clear Terms for Client Referrals and Compensation
A Referral Agreement is a contract that defines how one business will compensate another for referring clients or leads. Your Referral Agreement made in Bind creates clear expectations about the referral process, qualification criteria, and payment terms.
Your Referral Agreement made in Bind will include:
Party Information
Complete details about both the referrer (the party making the referrals) and the company receiving the referrals, including company names, addresses, and registration information.
Referral Services
Clear definition of what constitutes a valid referral, how referrals should be made, and which clients qualify as new referrals, preventing potential disputes about eligible leads.
Compensation Structure
Specific details about how the referrer will be paid, including the percentage or amount of the referral fee, how it's calculated, payment schedule, and payment method.
Exclusivity Terms
Clarification about whether the agreement is exclusive or if both parties can work with other partners, setting expectations about the business relationship.
Duration and Termination
How long the agreement will last, how either party can end it, and what happens to referral fees for existing clients when the agreement ends.
Confidentiality Requirements
Obligations for both parties to keep business information and client details private, protecting sensitive information shared during the referral process.
Governing Law
Which location's laws will apply to the agreement and which courts would handle any disputes. In Bind, you can select your preferred jurisdiction for the agreement.
General Legal Provisions
Standard clauses covering the independent contractor relationship, how changes to the agreement should be handled, and what happens if parts of the agreement are found invalid.
